3D printer provides dental models
The inCoris WAX patterns are used by dental technicians who want fast, consistent and economical fabrication of full cast crowns, copings and bridge frameworks
Sirona Dental Systems, has chosen 3D Systems' InVision DP (Dental Professional) 3D Modeler to launch Sirona's new infiniDent wax pattern service Sirona will use the system to fabricate inCoris WAX patterns as part of Sirona's infiniDent service beginning in March 2008

Stereolithography surpasses payback expectations
Time Rapid Prototyping Solutions has taken the production of stereolithography models in-house, with the recent installation of an SLA 250, from 3D Systems Inc. Ltd
The inCoris WAX patterns are used by dental technicians who want fast, consistent and economical fabrication of full cast crowns, copings and bridge frameworks as well as full contour units for press ceramics or over metal and pure zirconium oxide (ZrO2) substructures.
3D Systems' InVision DP (Dental Professional) 3D Modeler and new ProJet DP 3000 3D Production System accurately, consistently and economically manufacture precision wax-ups.
A dental professional scans a model, designs a virtual wax-up using 3D software, then sends the data to the InVision or ProJet modelers to "print" wax-ups in layers.
These systems can generate hundreds of units in each cycle.
With built-in VisiJet DP 200 Material, the wax-ups have a smooth surface finish and can be cast or pressed with conventional techniques.
"The introduction of inCoris WAX vastly increases infiniDent's service offering for existing inLab and inEos users and provides them with more access to more materials", said Marcus Meier, MDT, Manager of infiniDent.
"We are convinced that dental laboratories using these wax patterns will substantially increase their efficiencies when fabricating wax-patterns through infiniDent".
